\u201c\u017diadba\u00a0(*an archaic Slovak word referring to desire) for simplification, for what is substantial, for new wind in the form of two short parts.\u00a0\u017diadba\u00a0for pulsation (in the 1st part) and the melody without blossoms consisting of natural harmonics,\u201d Adri\u00e1n Demo\u010d explains the piece.<\/p>\n
This is what he says about the piece\u00a0Ma fin est mon commencement for clarinet, violin, and piano: \u201cThe keywords: Music. Pianissimo. Trio. Schumann. Purcell (Fantasia upon one note). Counterpoint. Ricercata.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The concert program further consists of works by Robert Schumann and Gy\u00f6rgy Kurt\u00e1g. The ensemble is going to play select pieces from the vocal cycle\u00a0A Woman\u00b4s Life and Love, op. 42 as well as\u00a0Fairy Tales, op. 132 for clarinet, violin, and piano, which belongs among the top works of Schumann.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kurt\u00e1g\u00b4s\u00a0Hommage \u00e0 R. Sch., op. 15d\u00a0is a tribute to Robert Schumann. As Andrea B\u00e1le\u0161ov\u00e1 (*the author of the accompanying text for the concert bulletin) says: \u201cThe cycle draws our attention to the philosophical message of Robert Schumann, which he left as a music reviewer and writer. To understand Kurt\u00e1g\u00b4s music requires only to have an open heart and a mind willing to accept the new.\u201d<\/p>\n
